At is printed in a large and handeome type, and will be got up in a style altogether worthy, of the subject.' The following anecdote of the venerable Asher Robbins, has been $p- penueu to the announcement: v - When the propriety of using a type so large was discussed in the committee, it was objected to on the score of expense, and that it would probably extend the work to three volumes : but the appeal of Mr. Robbins carried' the measure unani- rnously. f'Lel it be printed," said he, "in large type This is a book for t.he. old men of. the country.

JOTTINGS DOWN IN LONDON. Theatrical amusement, which in other places serves as a vent to enthusiasm, or as a safety valve to the suppressed still ness of common life, is in' London so much less i exciting than every day. rou tine, that it must be unusual attraction to take".. one to Cuvem Oi rf!i-n nr Prnrt Line. On my first two years in En' 'land, I was only once in either theatre albeit fond of a play, and a day or two since I found myself hesitating between Henry V. at seven, and a MayFair din ner at eight, decided in favour of the play at last ty "the appealing look of a schoolboy hroiher-in-la w, who was' to be uy companion. After a cup of coffee at Verey"s, some what to encourage the digestive process of a hasty and indifferent "beefsteak at lodgings," I embarked my handsome and intelligent little friend in w hat he called an "omnibus chop," (a newly invented cab, like the end of an omnibus upon two wheels) and threading all the intri cacies of St. Giles's and the Seven Dials, we were set down for a shilling at the door of Covent Garden. A shilling (much more easily earned) procured us the no tice of the box-keeper, who seated us near the stage, and.I bad just time to point out Mr. Babbidge th4 calculator, who happen ed. to be three seats from us, when the curtain tose and discovered "Time, the chorus" in beard, spy the, and russet. Vandenhoff delivered this and the suc: ceeding speeches of Time, (one at the beginning of every act, you remember) with Vgood emphasis and discretion." As he went on, the clouds which the lift ing of the curtain had disclosed, rolled up and away,, and superb tableaux glided past, representing the scene and person ages of the act' that was to follow. his was Staufield's work, and nothing ctmld possibly be more admiabie and magni.fi' cent than the drawing effect. The King's embarkation at Southampton", the passage ot the fleet, its arrivnl in France, the siege of Harfleur, the French and En glish camps, apd watch fires, the King's pavil lion, etc., were all pictures donei in the highest. style of art. It was. wonder ful how t h 13 double representation this scenic presentment to the eye, added to the interest and meaning of the play. Light as the mere dramatic interest of Henry V. is, it kept us on the stretch of excitement from the opening to the close. There was no chance for Macready's acting, of course, in Henry V., but he was most carefully and sunlptuously drest, and walked through his part with piopri ety, failing only in thefove-scene with Katherine at the close which he made, I thought unnecessarHy coarse and rud. Miss Vandenhooff (who has sailed for America) looked extremely handsome in the character, besides playing it capitally well. Pistol was shockingly overdone, and tne DestplayeU part ol all, to my thinking was the French Herald. Alto gether, theplay, as all London has ac knowledged, was 'exceedingly creditable to Macready's taste, as well as his liber ality and enterprise, and I. hope with all my '"heart that the plan lor builaing him atheatre to be devoted exclusively to the legitimate drama, will be speedily put in operation. . A, night or two. after, I was at Covent Garden again to see Bulwer's new play of Richelieu. It was gorgeously; got up, and the dramatic points were elaborated land studied with the nicest knowledge of the actor. ; I looked in vain for the pas sages 1 had admired in reading the play. They were mercilessly cut out but with only (it seemed to me) a single poetical passage, Richelieu's address to his peh, the action of the piece kept up an unbrok en and intense interest m the house. It proved to me what I have thought ever since I first saw a new play produced, that more than half the success of the best production depends on the skill and scis sors of the manager. And talking of managers, I have taken, since my last letter, what is called in England a frisk, and in the course of my circuit through Surrey and Sussex, pass ed one day very delightfully with Wall ack at Brighton. Here found I our gay Prospero of the "National," with his household gods and his beautiful boys all about him, as much at home, though you scarce miss him in his flittings from N. York, as the most inveterate promenader upon tli3 Cliff the "how d'ye do." of his hundred acquaintances no more dramatic, though he was arrived but a week' or two from America, nor his hospitalities less ample and particular, though he was to mount in twelve hours the chain-light ning of the Age-coach, rail-road and steamer, to do the three thousand miles back again in a fdrtnight, Shakspeare's Ariel is likely to turn out a very common jad, if travel goes on improving. Brighton is like a great city, built en tire, and at one job, to order. It is fresh and modern all over. It looks finished. loo, for there is no sign of building, and in that it is unlike an American city. Wallack did the honours of the town with great kindness, lionizing as in his "lea thern convenience from end to end o ' 1 I Y If A the supero - ciins wnicn cutis are broad streets, beantifoHy Macadamised, with ro ws of Palaces on one side, and the surf of the sea on the other. I think the two cliffs, which fbrm a crescent with the Queen's Pavilion and the chaiW pier in the centre, are something more than three miles long. The most magnificent fea- iure in ims long terrace, is a succession of squires, receding from the beach, and with one side Often to the sea the houses are of a very highly ornamented style of rjuilding, and surmounted with balconies, low windows and belvideres- so as to corn- mand from every room and prospect of the sea. .These chamber a three-sided squares are ail large, with an enclosed pa.rk in. the centre, and in such a windy place as Brighton, from very snug and sheltered promenades to the slenderleg- ffed invalid, and the sail- carrying dame. Kemp Town, as it is called,! forms the eastern extremity of '.he horn, and the .Square last built, though standing a hun dred feet above the beach, has subterra nean passages running under the street, and connecting every house with baths on the sea. This is the finest bit of Bright on in point of architecture, and on one of us plainest houses lives the Duke of De vonshire. ' j The other features of the cliffs are small phaetons to let for children; drawn each by a pair of goats, well groomed and appointed ; hand carriages for inva lids; all sorts of pony chaises sp'uttering about with fat ladies, and furnished inva riably with the snaljest coneeivabfe boy behind; any quantity of lumbering "dou- ble flys" or two horse coaches, drawn by one wretched skeleton of an animal, and occupied usually by a fat cit and his nu- merous family; great numbers of re- markably single-lookm'g ladies hanging to their parasols with! one hand; aftd fight- ing the wind out of. their petticoats with the other ; yellow-visaged East Indians forgetting their livers while they watch the struggles of these unwilling aeronauts; The ladies of England are about erect here and then a dandy, looking, blue ana a monument to Lady Flora When she oamp witn me cnui or tne sail air; ana all along the beach, half in the. water and half in the sand, in singular contrast to all this tovnishness, grdups of rough sailors cleaning their boats, drying their nets, and she had temporary delirium, and when cooking 'their messes on cross sticks, ap- ever Dr. Chambers or any of the medical parently as unconscious of the luxury and magnificence on the other side of the street, as if it Were a mirage on the horizon. . j . . The Royal Pavilion is not on the sea, and all you can see of it from the street, is a great number of peaked balloons, some small and some large, which jpeer above the shrubbery 'and wall, "likeijhe tops of the castors beyond a dish of salid.

The subject is an admi or the chill of the air in a very" agreeable rable one, and James is fully capable ol though a very dampish drive, l was ne- ver more pleased at the conclusion of a a day than with the turtle-soup, , turbot, and tuikey, with which Wallack! wound up the wonders of Brighton.; I know what the critics think of travellers who venture to acknowledge that they eat, but I. must summon up courage to record the fact, that this was a glorious dinner, glo- riously done justice to, and the Critics may lake their will of me. ! The seed of thi3 great flower upon the sea-side, was a whim of George the IV's, and to the excessive fright of the Bright- elmstonians, little Victoria has taken a narticular dislike to it, and makes her visit3 briefer and briefer.

They have a fashion in the Eastern States of calling their children after the prevailing fancies of the day, and it is no uncommon thing to hear a good j matron addressing her brood in this wise: - Come here, Devonshire, and take care of little Multicaulis, while Durham & Rohan go and call Lafayette, Ruta Baga, and" their daddy to dinner.

There may be other changes, or va riations in these, but I -.believe that you will find that I am pretty right in the main. The ministeiial papers -affect to deny, even yet, that any changes are con templated. The Hastings affiir has been revived, the uncle of Lady Flora having publish ed the letter, written by her, in last March, telling him. the insult she had received. In this, she nan.es Lady Portman and Lady Tavistock as the circulators of the scandal, Sir James Clarke as one the originators, (the Queen did originate it, in fact,) and declares "a certain foreign la- dy pulled the wires. This is Baroness Lehzen, who must quit ihe court. Lady Florar s brother will publish a full state ment of the conspiracy against his sister, and promises not to spare any of the con spirators, no matter how exalted her rank may be. suomutea to tne meaicat examination Lady Portman, a circulator of the scan dal, was an eye witness to the insulting degradation. Two davs before she died, men came into the room, used to shriek out and exclaim, "Here come the doctors to-see if I am a married Lady."

The followtng are the eighth and ninth clauses of thepro- . test, and they allude! to the U States : " 8.
